NBA 2012-2013 Season Thread

Heat's D doesn't look great, but it's the 3rd game of the year. They'll clamp down as the season progresses. I'm sure some rust and championship hangover is still lingering over some of the players.

Apparently not Chris Bosh though as the dude had a monster game last night. It's scary they have 4 guys who can put up 20+ points on any given night.

Feels good to be a Knick fan.:)

The city of NY needed that win more than the Heat last night. After the whole Sandy relief thing, it would of been demoralizing to go into Madison Square and destroy the Knicks as usually.

You have to give the Knicks some credit. They came out ready to play and they were inspired. Miami looked awful.

Although I love Knicks pests proclaiming Melo killed Lebron last night... dude scored 30 points on 28 shots. That's horrible. The Knicks hit their 3s last night. That was the biggest difference.

I'm not trying to take anything away from the Knicks since they did go out and get that win, but I'm just calling it like I see it. The Heat weren't playing with the same urgency they had in their opening game. They were getting blown by their opponent on the perimeter which opened up the three point game for NY. It's been a while since I've seen the Heat play such terrible perimeter and help defense.

Miami was put in an awkward position coming into an area that was struggling. I couldn't see it any other way, the Heat had to give this game.

Haters just can't give credit when due.:x You play to win the game. (Herm Edwards voice)Miami has a weak mentality if they came in to throw away the game because they felt sorry. Im sure the Raptors threw away the Brooklyn game too.:roll:

i cant believe it...pau gasol is playing like a damn beast...championship gasol today! never thought i'd see it again...

well only for 3 quarters but hopefully he plays the full game this way.

Might not have the chance, already pulled Kobe and Dwight with 4 minutes in the 3rd.

Man GS is making the playoffs this year.

"Hating" on the Knicks is like hating on a new born baby with no sense of direction. Like I said, I don't really care that the Heat lost, since it was the rightful thing to do. Makes no sense beating down on a city that was feeling not very hopeful to begin with. D-Wade tweeted before the game that they probably shouldn't be playing an NBA game (using thousands of dollars in energy) when over a million people are still without power. A team that has a weak mentality would probably punch a fire extinguisher after a lose or fail to establish chemistry even after an entire year.:lol:

Anyway, nice 4-point play by Allen to put us in a position to beat the Nuggets. Spo has actually gotten pretty good at drawing up plays.

3-0 so far have fun hating. Yes it's only 3 games but thats 3-0. Makes no sense beating down on a city? By the looks of it Hurricane Sandy should of hit Miami then. One player isn't the team and yes we may look better without Amare. A year filled with injuries, constant lineup changes, Mike Dantoni and a lockout year. Hmm i wonder why?

Knicks 3-0. All convincing wins. :cool:

The regular season might turn out better than I expected, but it won't mean much if the end result is another first round exit. Expecting a championship run would be foolish (Since Miami's still in the east), but I think a run to the ECF could be possible.

Also, I'm hoping when Amare is healed up that he takes on a 6th man role. The floor spacing, defense and passing in the starting five is MUCH better without him.

Phoenix Suns are doing terrible this year! 1-3 already...

Yeah the future sure looks bright, its looking like a 2nd-round exit instead of a first, good job. By the way, might be time to change that avatar. Your favorite player is balling on another team.

2 good defensive games on a row. Heat looking back on track. Hope they keep it up.

well... pau gasol is back to his passive "it's not my fault" ways....

coach brown likes to have 4 bench players + gasol play a lot of minutes....gasol is garbage... he should have peace, kobe or howard there instead.

well... he took my advice...but we are still getting owned...

i cant seem to know what the problem is....trade gasol? fire brown?

our defense is absolutely horrible...but i think that's because we have trouble scoring and that frustrates us at the defensive end.

Hawks baby!

^^^ Dwight is used to a lob in that situation. He was calling for it UP. They just need more time together and they'll get the chemistry down.
